A production query. Can I pick the brains of someone production savvy please? I’m putting together a short album and have more or less finished the recording and mixing. Track 2 finishes quite sonically dense, not actually loud but a full, fat sound. Track 3 starts with a slow build of synth and soft percussion washes building over about 2 minutes. While each track sounds fine independently the drop in power across the just between them doesn’t sounds very odd and out of place.
Is this the kind of thing compression is used to iron out? I’ve never really got the subtleties of what exactly one does with compressors. And, if not, how would you recommend approaching an issue like this? I'm a bit reluctant to beef up the intro of the third track as it would rather spoil the slow build
